For those of you who dont know what aircare is, I live in British Columbia, Canada, and it is a government run pimp house that requires cars to go through emissions tests every few years. I just bought my '95 z28 last night new cams, rollers, catback, etc...I put the catalytic converter back in and put some stupid cleanser **** in my gas tank the other day. Here is my problem:
They test for 3 things, 2 of which I pass, and the HC is what I fail:
Hydrocarbons (max 0.5)
1st reading: 0.9, 2nd reading: 1.8
My 2nd time I put some stupid "guaranteed to pass aircare" mixes in my tank from Canadian Tire, BAD idea. DOUBLE the reading, wtf?
Can any1 tell me ANYTHING I could do to help me temporarily pass this horrible test? Some mechanic told my buddy I can unplug somethin near the cams or rollers which would help, ideas?

High HC means that there is too much unburnt fuel in the exhaust. Start by giving the car a good tune up, by changing spark plugs, plug wires, & air filter. Check the O2 sensor activity with a scanner, and replace them if they are lazy. Also, if the MIL is lit, take care of that problem first.
